The fourth is a narrow driving hole that ends on this well-guarded green. Only 310 yards, this is the #5 index. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
7th, par-4, 331: A typical Tillinghast green is of moderate size–like this one. A moderately difficult hole, but a good one. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
The eighth is a par-4 of average difficulty, but missed shots still lead to trouble. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
Ten, the #1 index, plays uphill over its 409 yards to a relatively small green. The large falloff behind this green can bring about short-game woes. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
11th, par-4, 402: On this layout, Tillinghast’s holes retain their genuine parkland character, along with a classic aura not far afield from his famous courses. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
The sixteenth: Ron Cultip set this excellent par-5 in an open area, making this 498-yarder a tempting opportunity for big hitters. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
2nd: Par-4, 393. First of three holes on the difficult “Cat’s Claw.” The green can’t be seen from the fairway’s landing zone. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
3rd, par-4: Another tricky Tillinghast hole. The Cape design features this marshy hazard curving all the way from tee to green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
5th, par-5. The driving zone is relatively open, but your second may cross the stream and must be precise. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
16, par-5, 498. Terrific hole that encourages you to slam a driver and another long club on the second. Hittable in two, for some. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
18, par-5, 570. On the second shot, the fairway’s safe side is the right, which better opens up the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021

Another view of 18. As classic as the Tillinghast holes on the front side. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021

New Tees Coming In Great! Photo submitted by Golfguyswf on 08/15/2018
Short and tough
Staff and course were great.Narrow fairways and elevated greens are challenging.
Great location. Great layout.
Good experience of a round of golf.
Green was a bit slow that day but everything else was great.
Fairways and greens in good shape. Rough was manageable. Tee boxes were very hard. Great staff. A fun day.
Good 2nd choice
So your favorite courses are all booked this is a good 2nd choice. Old course with doglegs some forced carries not long, about 6200 yds from the tips. Greens were very slow. Overall conditions were good. Bunkers need work. Picturesque with mountains (?) on both side of course. Also much better than its neighbor course Highpoint CC just back in NJ.
Fun course to play. Pretty wide open mostly but some very tight tee shots. Get directions before you start out or you'll be spending your day on a treasure hunt trying to find the next tee. Low-key but worth it!
Great course with great staff
The course was in great shape even for having rained a decent amount in the days leading up to our round. The staff was excellent and extremely friendly.
NIce Track
We found this course wide open with hard greens requiring good iron play in order to score.
Course is in great shape
The Lynx at Riverbend is in absolutely beautiful shape.
The fairways are lush and the greens were rolling quick.
The surrounding trees and plants and flowers are incredible. The staff is very friendly and the course is a great value compared to other golf courses in the area.
Not a bad course, but..
First of all, it was very wet. We had dinner rain yesterday, but it's a low lying area. Next, the greens were true but very SLOW. The fairways were ok and the rough was long. If you don't know this course, there's a good chance you will be hitting some sites in the wrong direction. The layout is very strange and blind. All was going well until the 12th tee. I was alone until then with no one in sight. Suddenly, there was a threesome on the tree when I arrived at the 12th, a par 3. Instead of asking me to hit up our join them, they ignored me and forced me to wait on every shot from thereon in. No brains or etiquette among them. Not a Marshall on the course. Turned a great 2hr 15min round into over 3 hours. No excuse for this. Also, the bugs are terrible, probably because it's a swampy area. Could be a great course, but too expensive for what you get.
2021 is not a year to miss
I’ve been playing this course for five years and if you haven’t played it this year you are missing out. It is in amazing shape and as always the staff ensure you have a great round.
Wet
The course is usually better, but with all the rain we've been getting there were spots that took a beating.
Amazing course
What a beautiful course! The only negative were the gnats so I would definitely bring bug spray! The course conditions were great and the staff was excellent as well.
Thank you to Charlie for a great day!
Worth the ride from NYC.
Beautiful mountain course with very nice staff. Doglegs, water and trees. Just a lot of fun.
